If universal basic income causes most people to stop working, and if the people who keep working get to amass all the power, then wouldn't everyone want UBI so they could keep working and have all the power?
In my head, universal basic income is more like tax returns, but each month instead of each year. Like a tax refund for food and shelter.
What you actually want in society is for as many people as possible to have the means and motivation to contribute to social progress, to keep it as fair as possible. You want more independence, not more dependence.
